May be involved in membrane trafficking in the early secretory pathway. Inhibits BACE1 activity and amyloid precursor protein processing. May induce caspase-8 cascade and apoptosis. May favor BCL2 translocation to the mitochondria upon endoplasmic reticulum stress. Induces the formation of endoplasmic reticulum tubules (PubMed:25612671). Also acts as an inflammation-resolving regulator by interacting with both TRIM25 and RIGI, subsequently impairing RIGI ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitination leading to IRF3 and NF-kappa-B inhibition. ; (Microbial infection) Plays a positive role in viral replication and pathogenesis of enteroviruses.
